C > U mutations generate immunogenic peptides in SARS-CoV-2

APOBEC enzymes—key players of the innate immune system—induce mutations that become fixed in viral genomes and enhance immune recognition.

C > U mutations generate immunogenic peptides in SARS-CoV-2 - Nature Communications
The effect of new viral mutations on T cell responses remains unclear. Here, Balogh et al. show that most new mutations in SARS-CoV-2 are C > U, a bias that leads to an enhanced T cell re...

I C U mutant!

Our new paper is out! Our immune system doesn’t just fight viruses – it edits them.
APOBEC enzymes introduce C>U mutations that often make viral proteins easier for HLA molecules and T-cells to detect, boosting immune recognition.
